Green Toaster's Car Sketches
-
The guys at GM should remove their blindfolds before approving a design. What were they thinking? Didn't finish rehab?
-
Personally i think the entire concept of a convertible truck is pretty flawed
They should produce more of your designs brad

Thank you Remus.
In my opinion, a good, complete design involves being able to see the car from any angle while still maintaining visual interest. At best, I usually only get halfway there . . . okay, maybe only 25% . . . but, I'm all about having fun, which is why I continue . . .
Happy Sketching,

I love to hear that people are having fun with SketchUp! I look at it the same way!! If you can't make something fun, why do it?
That's why SketchUp was designed the way it is!Cheers Brad!!

I guess it's like when you go fishing - sometimes you get a fish, other times you're just out there, enjoying nature. This one is no catch . . . someone should write a ruby script that allows you to pick an icon that looks like a demolition switch - when selected, you see your model destroyed while hearing the sound of broken glass . . . I'd use that option for this model if it was available . . . (ha) . . .
Happy Sketching,

I don't remember ever doing a hearse . . . not sure this would be a popular color with hearses . . . maybe for a festive funeral . . . if there ever was such a thing . . . I better change the color . . .
Happy Sketching,

Any tips on where to start?
Cheers,

Andrew, if you're talking about "how do I create cars," then I posted some video tutorials here:
Maybe that will help - hope so - good luck, have fun.

At the approval of Brad, this topic has been moved to the Gallery where it is better suited.

. . . was listening to Metallica when this little car popped into my head . . .

Didn't this thread start out in the Gallery forum, then it got moved to the Tutorials forum, & now it's back? I say move it to the Dumpster forum and let's start all over again. I'm just now getting quasi-comfy with this stuff.

This is a car I'd like to drive - gimmie oh, I dunno, maybe 520 hp, 6 speed manual . . . can you dig it . . . ? . . .

I keep wondering, regardless of how sophisticated other CAD programs appear to be, do any of them allow such quick exploration of ideas?
Here's another ultra-quick sketch, just a generic form study wo/any details.

. . . had to finish the dishes so I could get in another sketch before making dinner tonight . . . something "so GreenToaster" . . . (yawn) . . .

I like the first one it has an exotic view to it. The one where you sed sophiticated

Thanks Ray.
I'm working on some video tutorials - hopefully, these will be much better than my first ones. I hope to show how easy it is to create cars using SketchUp - as others have done before. Honestly, it seems like every time I do another car I learn something new or at least I try something different. Sometimes the results are great - sometimes, not so great - but it's all fun.
My problem is that I'm in the middle of moving to a new house and I really have to stop modeling
and pack boxes and blah, blah, blah . . .Hopefully, in a couple of weeks I'll be able to post a series of "much improved" video tutorials . . . maybe with sound, notes, blah, blah, blah . . .
Happy Sketching,
Brad
